What Are Occlusal and Sports Guards?
Occlusal and sports guards are custom-made appliances worn over your teeth to protect against damage.
- Occlusal guards (nightguards) protect against teeth grinding and clenching
- Sports guards protect teeth from impact during physical activity
Both are designed to reduce stress on your teeth and jaw while preventing long-term damage.
Occlusal Guards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
If you grind or clench your teeth—especially at night—you may be at risk for tooth damage and jaw discomfort.
Occlusal guards help:
- Prevent wear and fractures in teeth
- Reduce pressure on the jaw joints
- Minimize headaches and muscle tension
- Protect dental work such as Crowns & Bridges
Occlusal guards are often part of treatment for TMJ & Bruxism Therapy.
Sports Guards for Active Lifestyles
If you or your child participate in sports, a custom sports guard is essential for protecting your smile.
Sports guards help prevent:
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Tooth loss from impact
- Soft tissue injuries to lips and gums
- Jaw injuries during contact sports
Compared to store-bought options, custom guards provide better fit, comfort, and protection.
Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard?
Custom-made guards offer significant advantages over over-the-counter options:
- Precise fit for maximum comfort
- Better protection and durability
- Improved breathing and speaking ability
- Reduced risk of slipping or irritation
They are especially important for patients who have had prior Tooth Repair or want to protect cosmetic work like veneers or bonding.
Signs You May Need an Occlusal Guard
You may benefit from a nightguard if you experience:
- Jaw pain or tightness
